Reports <code>protected</code> members in <code>final</code> classes with no <code>protected</code> modifier.
<p>Since <code>final</code> classes cannot be inherited, marking the method as <code>protected</code>
  may be confusing. It is better to declare such members as <code>private</code> or package-visible instead.</p>
<p><b>Example:</b></p>
<pre><code>record Bar(int a, int b) {
  protected int sum() { 
     return a + b;
  }
}
</code>
</pre>
<p>After the quick-fix is applied:</p>
<pre><code>record Bar(int a, int b) {
  int sum() { 
     return a + b;
  }
}
</code></pre>

<p>As shown in the example, a class can be marked as <code>final</code> explicitly or implicitly.</p>
